Quick Answer: 

Fractional Jobs charges companies a one-time referral fee only if the company hires a candidate from our network. There is no % commission, no buyout fees, and we take $0 from the fractional talent.

Our pricing is designed to make us a no brainer. It’s affordable, simple, and incentives are aligned.

The Referral Fee

ONLY If a company signs a contract with a candidate, do we charge either a $3,000 or a $5,000 referral fee. The fee depends on criteria like the type of candidate needed, if there are geographic restrictions, and how many hours per week is needed from the talent. To learn more about which fee bucket your role falls into, get in touch.

If you’re thinking “damn, that’s cheap”. Don’t worry, there is no catch. Really, this is designed to be a no brainer. The companies we work with are regularly blown away by the quality, speed, and affordability, and we intend to keep it that way.

How Hiring Works

If a company hires a candidate from our network, they do so directly. Fractional Jobs is not a middleman. The company and the talent negotiate an agreement together and sign a contract together.
